Ask HN: What tools to use when creating an AI voice?

2 pointsdanielovichdk2 comments

I am interesting in learning a bit about this AI engine stuff and I would like to set up my own instance of a voice ai creator.

I am a seasoned software engineer but I have no clue where to start (sure I could Google it but I want your answers instead).

Thank you

What are your goals for this voice? Speaking, Singing? There are a lot of voices that are already packaged and ready to go such as Amazon Polly, why do you find these deficient? Have you tested any?

Simply to see how easy it really is to have my own or the kids voice do some funny things.

Speaking.

I would like to feedback some kind engine with mp3 files (voice audio) and train it to speak in that voice.

I was hoping i could set it up on my own machine and not rely on a cloud provider.

I have only tried the I OpenAI speak to text api, and that was easy setting up locally.

Thanks
